More on Mauricio Pochettino sacking

“There are fears the man who makes Tottenham Hotspur click will leave before the end of the transfer window,” the Liverpool legend wrote in the Telegraph .

“Spurs fans should not worry. Harry Kane is going nowhere this month.

“For all the speculation surrounding Christian Eriksen it is worth emphasising who the real star of the Tottenham team still is. Eriksen’s contribution from the bench against Aston Villa was lauded last week, the Dane presented as the game-changer.

“But my abiding memory of that afternoon is of Kane’s lethal finishing, two match-winning goals underlining what a world class striker is.

“This is the Kane we know. Back to his best.

“Within 15 minutes he showed why you can guarantee he will again score over 20 Premier League goals, injury permitting.

“Here is the truest measure of Kane’s class: Go through the respective line-ups of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City when they face up this weekend. Which Spurs player would be on Pep Guardiola’s shopping list?

“There is a reason he called Spurs ‘the Harry Kane’ team. With Sergio Aguero now 31, Guardiola would love nothing more than to have the Tottenham striker as a natural replacement if the opportunity arose. I would be amazed if he is not the number one choice.

“If they had the cash, Real Madrid would have bid for Kane. Barcelona, too. He is that good. The La Liga elite will be watching him more than any other Premier League No 9.

“As the plaudits were directed elsewhere following the comeback win over Villa, it seemed we had forgotten just how good Kane is. This can happen when a player sets such a high standard, brilliant moments taken for granted. Take a look at the quality of those finishes again-the power, accuracy and speed with which he gets his strikes away. When he gets a chance you never think he will miss.”
